Ouch! AAPL lost -2.1% on Monday putting its two-day decline at more than $13. The breakdown under the $340 level is bearish. The stock could have support near $330 but there is a chance AAPL might fall toward stronger support near $320 and its 200-dma. I would definitely consider buying calls on a dip near $320 and if AAPL can find support at $330 again we'll consider buying calls there too. In the meantime, we're in a wait-and-see mode. Our breakout trigger to buy calls at $352.50 won't get hit any time soon.

Buy-the-breakout Trigger @ $352.50

Investors favored defensive names on Monday. ESRX recovered from its morning spike lower and almost hit new relative highs before the intraday rebound faded. Given the market's weakness we should look for a dip toward the $58.00 or $57.00 levels. No new positions at this time.
Our targets are $64.00 and $68.50.
FYI: The Point & Figure chart for ESRX is bullish with a $72 target.

Warning! FDS underperformed the market's major indices on Monday with a -1.8% decline. More conservative traders may want to exit early right now. Shares have closed under the 10-dma and the $108 level. The next stop looks like the $106 area. I am adjusting our stop loss to $105.85. I am not suggesting new bullish positions at this time.

Please note that this is a higher-risk, more aggressive trade because FDS doesn't have a lot of option volume and the option spreads are a little too wide. Keep your position small to limit our risk.

05/16 update: IBM is slipping toward recent support near $168.00. If this level breaks the stock should find additional support near $166.00. I'm not suggesting new positions at this time. Let's wait and see where the market bounces first.

There is no change from my prior comments on ILMN. The trend is up but shares look poised for some profit taking. Watch for support in the $73-72 zone. We'll wait for a dip or a bounce before considering new positions.

Our targets are $79.50 and $84.00.
The Point & Figure chart for ILMN is bullish with a $90 target.

Selling in tech stocks on Monday pulled NTAP to a -1.6% decline. Shares paused at technical support near the 10 and 100-dma. I've been suggesting readers look for a dip near $53 as a possible entry point. This could be it. Or you can wait for the bounce first.
Our target to exit is the $58.00 mark.

ORLY has pulled back toward support near $60 but I'm not expecting this level to hold if the major market indices continue to sink. ORLY appears to have additional support at $59 and $58 so we'll wait and see where it bounces.

I will repeat my comments from this weekend that readers may want to exit their May $60 calls immediately.
The plan was to keep our position size small to limit our risk.

We need to be careful here. Over the weekend I discussed that the QQQs looked like they might see a dip toward the 50-dma, which is what occurred today. A bounce from here could be used as a new entry point. Any further declines will probably hit our stop loss at $56.99.
Our upside target is $64.00. The Qs don't move very fast so we'll have to be patient.

05/16 update: Traders bought the early morning dip in SHW. The stock bounced back toward last week's highs. Currently our plan is to launch bullish positions on a breakout at $87.00.
If triggered our first target is $92.25. Our second, much more aggressive target is $98.50. I would not be surprised to see some resistance near the $90 and $95 levels. The Point & Figure chart for SHW is bullish with a $99 target. If the stock can rally past $87 it will produce yet another buy signal.

Trigger @ $87.00

The SSO has fallen toward its early May lows and looks like it will test the 50-dma near $53.00 soon. Wait for a bounce from the 50-dma before considering new bullish positions.

The SSO is twice as volatile as the market so we want to keep our position size small. Our multi-week target is the $59.00 level.

I cautioned readers to look for another dip near $60.00 before initiating new positions. TSCO is getting close to this level. More conservative traders could wait for a dip near the 50-dma instead (currently $59.15).

There is resistance at $65.00 but I'm setting our profit target at $69.00. More conservative traders may want to take profits at $64.80 and then sell the rest at $69.00.

UNP saw a bounce from the $100 level this morning but the rally attempt failed at $102.00. The stock remains in jeopardy of breaking down under the $100 level. More conservative traders might want to wait for a close over $102.00 again before considering new positions.
Our targets are $109.00 and $114.00. FYI: The Point & Figure chart for UNP is bullish with a $116 target.

UTX bounced from its morning lows near support at $88 and its 20-dma. I don't see any changes from my prior comments.

We have two different triggers to open positions here. One is a buy-the-dip entry point at $86.50 with a stop loss at $84.75. Another one is a breakout entry point at $90.75 but with very small positions and a stop loss at $87.75.

If UTX hits $86.50 first then our targets are $89.50 and $94.75. If UTX hits $90.75 first then our targets are $94.75 and $98.50.

05/16 update:
WYNN has fallen toward the bottom of its recent trading range near support at $140. Odds are WYNN won't hit our breakout trigger to buy calls at $152.00 any time soon. We may want to start looking for some sort of buy the dip entry. The $130 level should offer some support. If WYNN bounces there it could be an entry point. We'll reconsider adjusting our entry strategy later this week.

Prior Comments:
This stock can be somewhat volatile so I am suggesting we keep our position sizes small to limit our risk. We'll use a trigger to buy calls at $152.00. If triggered at $152.00 our targets are $159.75 and $169.00. The $160 and $170 levels look like potential resistance.

Trigger @ $152.00

AMZN was crushed today. There was a Bloomberg story that Amazon's cloud computing services were involved in Sony's massive security breach. Now add a sell-off across the technology space and AMZN was a big underperformer today, down -4.9%. Shares gapped open lower at $200.54 and quickly hit our stop loss at $198.00.
We knew this was an aggressive trade and clearly labeled it a higher-risk play but today's weakness is still surprising.
